Andy, I believe someone made a pretty cool grivious. Not sure where I saw it though.

As for IG, I think that you dont have to be too tall to make it work, but since you cannot make the headpiece fit your head, unless you get major plastic surgery, then I think that your head would in the IG's chest, so you have a bigger viewpoint. It would have to be pretty big to accomodate the person wearing the costume. I might go for it and try this costume. I have always loved IG-88, besides the Fettman.

I have seen several good Grievous puppets before. they also have a nice place to hide inside of the puppet, the costume can't be done because the arms are way too thin. Not even I could fit myself into an IG-88. If you want to make it unproportional, I suppose it would work.

I think it's pretty doable you just need a thin person like someone that could fit in a C3PO suit, only down side is on how you see through the helmet and the arms and legs will end up looking a tad beefed up.

Anybody up for an extreme diet? Haha. Well, like I said, if you size up the costume to the point that your arms will fit, it could possibly work. After I am done with Fett, which should be sometime early next year, I will start work on this. If I cannot fit in it, then hell, it will go on display.

Edit- Actually I take that back. You would have to modify some parts of it to make it fit you. Like I said before, it would be an uncomfortable costume. Expect to see it at comic con next year.

I'm sure it'd be far easier and more practical to simply make an IG-88 that simple stands there. Not a costume but perhaps an rc droid like the R2D2's that are made with radio controls for its head and maybe its arms. That way everything is in proportion, no one needs to have parts of the anatomy removed to fit inside and it's not simply a static display piece.

What about putting it together like the EP 1 C3-P0? A puppet mounted to the front of a black suit. So, you could still wear it and not have to worry about being in it or changing any of the droid's dimensions.

I might just have to make this wearable. I am still planning this out, because I dont want to dive into it right away. If I make a mistake, then yea, I can fix it, but it would cost more money than I hoped it would.

Hey GCN for the sake of debate...why would IG not be 501st accepted? Wouldn't he be BH status? That is assuming that someone could fit into it. Though you would have to make it our of proportion for a human to fit in there.
